Abstract
In presented article, an exemplary problem of identifying parameters of an aircraft's motion within the vertical plane of symmetry is solved. The data was collected by FlightGear simulator for a Pilatus PC-9M aircraft flight case. After submitting a sequence of commands to pitch elevator and engine thrust, the simulator records five parameters of longitudinal motion at certain frequency. The collected data are further used to build a state-space model of the flight through least-squares estimation. The obtained numerical results are compared with the experimental ones and are overlaid graphically. Charts depicting elevator angle to trim are derived in addition. A source code developed in GNU Octave is applied with the help of which the problem was solved.
